Issued as a transparent golden yellow cassette. Comes with a standard J-card insert and a separate lyric booklet. The case is a standard J-card case with a transparent hinge piece. The hinge piece has a raised Warner Bros. "W" logo in the bottom right corner.
After a while you begin to see that simply taking the issuing record companies' word for their own products as authoritative leads to mistakes, as this example proves... they got up to all sorts of shenanigans, mistakes, and foul ups, all of which we want to record and show here.
Taking existing tape stock, wrapping it in new clothes, and calling it a new product, for any reason is one their favourites.
(It's why discogs has many mistakes in the database as well as us... it's not the contributors, or even either of our sites, and our attempts to apply logic that is at fault, it's just that the items themselves (and the companies issuing) are frequently hodge-podge) - the fact the same oddities appear across separate sites is proof of this fact - ain't us, it's them! :)
It's a generally helpful rule of thumb, to work from the inside out when making entries for items, as far as which details take precedence, when discrepancies occur:
Record / Tape / etc. first - artwork and packaging after.
...After all the envelope only exists to contain the letter, not the other way round, in the same way that the packaging only exists to contain the tape, not vice versa.
@Magic Marmalade I noticed that as well. Most releases in vinyl tape and cd often have variances in cat #s like this one. Not sure what or why that is. I wasn't sure if I should add both to the cat # space or just the one that is seen "easier" on the artwork. I'm rather new here so still getting use to how things are done here as opposed to discogs.
Notice the cat number on the cassette itself here varies from how it is given on artwork...
(Odd)
... I've added the variation - on cassette - as "other cat" number, but then looked at how Sire, and indeed the Talking Heads discography presents these numbers in the cat scheme, and so switched the cat umbers around, to make it more consistent with that scheme - cassette number first, then artwork.
I wonder why this is?
...Could it be a repackage of existing tape stock?
Anyway, if someone has the cassette only, the search here would produce the right result with cassette number first, by my logic, and I reckon you are less likely to find the artwork alone, without cassette.
